TRC's Cliff Gladstein Receives Breath of Life Award for Lifetime Leadership in Clean Transportation and Energy
Gladstein serves as a senior leader on the Clean Transportation Solutions team at TRC, where he drives market strategy to accelerate the adoption of low- and zero-emission commercial transportation technologies
Breathe Southern California has presented its 2025 Breath of Life Award to Cliff Gladstein, a nationally recognized environmental advocate and founding president of Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA), for his decades of leadership in accelerating the adoption of clean fuels and zero-emission technologies. The award was presented at the SLS Hotel Beverly Hills during the organization's gala celebrating its 122-year legacy of advancing clean air through research, education and advocacy.
Gladstein, whose firm was acquired by TRC Companies in 2023, now serves as a senior leader on the Clean Transportation Solutions team at TRC, continuing to guide nationwide efforts to reduce emissions from the commercial transportation sector.
'Cliff Gladstein is extremely deserving of being named our Breath of Life Award recipient,' said Marc Carrel, president & CEO of Breathe Southern California, the nonprofit organization presenting the honor. 'Cliff is a pioneer in the clean transportation and clean energy industries and was involved before most people knew what alternative fuels and EVs were. The world of transportation and energy has changed dramatically since the 1990s and many of those changes wouldn't have happened if it were not for the leadership and hard work of Cliff Gladstein. He pushed policymakers and vehicle makers to understand the benefits of transitioning to cleaner cars, trucks, buses, ships and aircraft. That has made our air cleaner and our families healthier.'
In 1993, Gladstein founded Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA), then known as Gladstein & Associates (G&A), to accelerate the deployment of low- and zero-emission vehicles, ultra-low carbon fuels and infrastructure for commercial transportation. That work continues at TRC, where Gladstein's team has managed more clean fleet deployment projects than any other firm in North America, facilitated the development of some of the world's largest alternative fuel corridors and secured more than $2 billion in grants and funding for clean transportation projects. The team has also created leading educational conferences to help fleets and stakeholders navigate the transition to sustainable transportation solutions.
Gladstein's key career milestones include serving as the principal consultant on the drafting of the first Clean Air Plan for the city of Los Angeles in the early 1990s and creating the Interstate Clean Transportation Corridor (ICTC) project in the mid-1990s to promote the use of clean alternative fuels in goods movement, which led to the deployment of clean natural gas and electric trucks – reducing diesel fuel use by billions of gallons.
'I am deeply honored to receive the Breath of Life Award from Breathe Southern California,' said Gladstein. 'This recognition underscores the collective efforts of our TRC team and our commitment to advancing clean fuels and transportation technologies. We are making significant strides in improving air quality and promoting sustainable energy solutions, and I am proud to be part of this transformative journey.'
Each year, Breathe Southern California presents its Breath of Life Award to honor individuals whose leadership has significantly contributed to cleaner air and healthier communities.

Teck Recommends that Shareholders Reject 'Mini-Tender Offer' by TRC Capital
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ('Teck') has been notified of an unsolicited 'mini-tender' offer by TRC Capital Corporation ('TRC') to purchase up to 2.0 million Class B subordinate voting shares of Teck, representing approximately 0.41 percent of Teck's outstanding Class B subordinate voting shares as of May 23, 2025. The offer price of $47.80 represents a 4.46% discount to the closing price of Teck's Class B subordinate voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 20, 2025, the day prior to the date of the offer. Teck recommends that shareholders NOT tender their Class B subordinate voting shares in response to TRC's below-market price mini-tender offer. TRC's mini-tender offer is subject to many conditions, including conditions based on TRC's subjective opinion, a financing condition, and a condition that there shall not have occurred since May 20, 2025, a decrease in the price of Teck's Class B subordinate voting shares, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 Average or a number of other stock market indices. Teck does not endorse TRC's unsolicited mini-tender offer and is not associated with TRC, the mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. TRC has made many similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to seek less than 5% of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many investor protections such as disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most takeover bids and tender offers under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Shareholders who are considering tendering their shares to TRC's mini-tender offer are strongly urged to exercise caution with respect to TRC's offer, obtain current market quotations for their Teck Class B subordinate voting shares, consult with their financial advisors and carefully examine TRC's mini-tender offer. The Canadian Securities Administrators ('CSA') have expressed serious concerns about mini-tender offers such as the possibility that investors might tender to a mini-tender offer based upon a misunderstanding of the terms of the offer, including the per security price available under the offer relative to the market price of such securities. The CSA's long-standing guidance on mini-tenders can be found at: . The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has published investor tips regarding mini-tender offers on its website at: . Brokers, dealers and other market participants are encouraged to exercise caution and review the letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures on the SEC website at . According to TRC's current offer documents, Teck shareholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw their shares at any time before 11:59 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 18, 2025, by following the procedures described in the offer documents. Teck requests that TRC include a copy of this news release with all distributions of materials relating to TRC's mini-tender offer related to Teck shares.
